Resource File for German Instruction in Utah: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced.

Utah State Board of Education, Salt Lake City.

These materials illustrate the ideas presented in the "Guide for Foreign Languages in Utah." Learning activities, materials, and evaluation procedures have been written to help the language teacher who has never had a methods course, as well as the experienced teacher who is searching for new ideas. The materials begin with a basic unit similar to those found in a methods textbook, but the main part of the unit is outlined with detailed instructions as to what the teacher must do to help the student develop the language skills described in the unit objectives. Model lessons in elementary, intermediate, and advanced placement German are presented as a means of illustrating practical applications of teaching goals and techniques outlined in the Utah curriculum. The lesson plans present the instructional objective, the lesson content, and the methodology as well as cross references to the course of study. In addition to the model lessons, a special resource section is included to help teachers prepare to teach an advanced placement class in German language or literature. (Author/JB)
